0 comments 2nd Camping Trip for us! But the first with a REAL campfire ans SMORES!!

The location was near Old faithful. About a 3.4 mile hike in. Which didn't seem bad at all. Maybe it was all the hiking training we have had over the past couple months. hehe

As usual at this time of the year, it was swarmed with mosquitoes.. and OMG, the are some really pro mosquitoes. They don't need open skin.. they can poke through your clothes! i wore a pair of tights and sweatpants but they mosquitpes still got all over my legs! Some crazy shit.

Oksay, ignoring the mosquitoes, once we arrived at our campsite, at about 7-8pm, we set up the new 4 men tent our RC, Silke had very kindly lent us and took our all our food reserves. Then it was firewood collection time and all of us dispersed to look for big logs for the fire and thin branches for the marshmallows.

Although it wasn't getting dark yet, i suggested starting the fire anyway since it would be #1 easier when u can actually see what you are doing and #2 an attempt to smoke the mosquitoes away. We spent some time on the starting the fire and luckily Spencer had suggested bring lint from the dryers to burn as kindling. I rolled them into dung like shapes and stick them in. Soon the campfire was burning!

Campfire's burning, campfire's burning, draw nearer, draw nearer!

First things first, DINNER!! we were starving and had already each bought sandwiches when we were at the old faithful general store. Dinner was Maggi noodles for me, Lettie and Spencer and some Kathmandu Curry for Jilllian since she's vegetarian.

We tried some of her curry since it serves 2 and the 3 of us came to a conclusion that it was missing something... MEAT!

After dinner, i made some milk tea and we roasted out marshmallows for the smores! Plus some irish cream liquor and music, dancing around the campfire..

Okay, so when camping in bear country, we are suppose to hang our foodstuff at least 10 feet above the ground away from our sleeping are. So they have this high pole for us to hang out foodstuff for the night. The girls looked at the pole and our first comment was, Wao, that's high up. i dun think we can get a rock up and over to hang the bag. Upon hearing that, Spencer bursted out laughing.. he couldn't believe we had thought that and said that he could do it in 1 throw..

So with our egos to save, we all tried to throw the rock. But Damn! Failed... he was already rolling on the floor laughing by that time. It took all of us 3 tries each before Lettie finally got the rock and rope over..

Then, we talked for awhile more under the stars until the fire died down since we weren't suppose to leave the fire still burning in case it starts a forest fire..

Finally, snuggled up in our tent and sleeping bags, we played a few games of cards and a round of Monopoly Deal before heading off to bed at around 2am.

At about 5am, i woke up with a splitting headache and had to head out of the tent and even threw up. I was feeling so bad i couldn't even go back to sleep. So i lay against a tree stump by the lake facing the rising morning sun and tried to catch some rest instead.. Eventually my head stopped hurting and i found out that it was cause i was sleeping on an incline with my head downwards the entire night. hence the enormous headache. Ouch.. but all is good and we made ourselves breakfast of oat cereal or milo and nuts. A little chipmunk even relentlessly attempted to steal our food and made a cute little stance every time we looked at him.. haha! Doing the puss-in-boots from Shrek move..

I love camping out with my friends! And i want to bring a piece of sky back with me....
